I upgraded our ADSL connection

I upgraded our ADSL connection to the alleged speed of 7100/768. We seem to be getting the 768 up (from 384kbps) but only around 6500kbps down (might be due to line noise). Anyway, I was surfing with MSIE6 and thinking "Gee, this isn’t all that fast" in fact, it was poking along like no upgrade had occurred. I switched to Opera7 and was floored at how much faster it was. IE used to be quite fast, and I knew Opera had done improvements, but upgrading the line has really showcased the differences between the two. Maybe it’s time to dump MSIE?
